The University of NSW is known for producing some of Australia's top lawyers, doctors and accountants. But the 64-year-old institution is now gaining a reputation for excelling in what is often viewed as anti-establishment â hacking.
It's noon on Tuesday and a group of four students are hovering over their laptops having just bunkered down in a room at UNSW's Kensington campus, where they're going to be for the next 24 hours hacking into IT systems. Computer cables, power boards, water bottles and brown paper bags full of food are spread across the table.
